so much...

Butoh workshop this weekend with Diego Pinon at the spareroom.

I finished my homemade, self-designed, cedar bed frame. Very low to the ground and infused with the intention of care and love. I should post a photo.

Concentrating, seeing, clarifying; there is so much to do that brings joy into my life and everyone around me. Nothing is exempt from this beauty. However, I must practice this way of being. So much to be unlearned and freshly experienced. Breaking free is a mental endeavor. Practicing is a reconnection to living my life, something I've desired for so long, and fortunately, now, I am doing. I am doing it. I am. ahhh.

Thank you Ed Brown, for the phrase "Easy in the beginning, easy in the middle, easy in the end." This is helpful for gently bringing my awareness back to consciousness, body, place, and moment. It feels like really saying "relax" but in a more thorough way.

creating conscious life connecting ritual

For me to awaken and "get centered" in daily/momentary life, I am finding that new life-connecting, consciously-created ritualized actions are necessary. Psychologically breaking the old habits of unawareness and consciously connecting with reality is establishing a whole new realm of associations in my mind. I'm becoming comfortable with and excited to embrace freedom from conceptuality and realistic spaciousness.

Please read "Facing the Dragon: Confronting Personal and Spiritual Grandiosity" by Robert L. Moore for brilliant psychological guidance and an intense critique of contemporary society.


Gratitude, harmonic resonance/dissonance of energy, resting in the way things are, movement of the body is much more than just movement--and much less too.
